More from @dpshow: "From what I'm told, not everybody has been informed of this" change on Baltimore Ravens coaching staff.

Re: Coaching Change?

Again, if this is in fact happening, I hope it is something that Ozzie and Harbs have decided warrants action, and not an overreaction to external stimuli; otherwise, this team has more serious problems than we are aware of.

** Cam is "extended" but not one word of the contract terms, compensation, etc.
** Team has melt down yet Harbs looks like gold at the end of it.
** Harbs is seen more than once yelling at Cam during the game yesterday, one of which was right after the offense strolled off the filed for the first half with time still on the clock.

Lot's of circumstances stacking up here ....

I agree. And also the longer it sits out there, the more I think at least SOMETHING is going to happen. Nothing from the Ravens AT ALL points to something, something big I hope.

I don't get we ran one TE slant yesterday for 9yrds and it disappeared after that.

Re: Coaching Change?

It's official .....

Cam is gone ....

If this all is true, I think it came down from the top. How does Bisciotti know what to pay Flacco if he's still attached to Cameron? Is it Cam? Is it Flacco? Is it Harbaugh? Is it 2 or 3 of the above? Maybe the next 4 games will tell us something.

That is something we all felt.

And they fucked themselves by not doing this earlier. I think Bisciotti wanted to fire Cam the last 2 years and was talked out of it by Harbaugh.

I think he has hit his boiling point probably.

But it's really too late right now. They aren't going to know anything for sure off of a 3-5 game sample of games.

I said it before and I'll say it again...the team royally fucked themselves over by not firing Cam to see what they had in Joe. A lot of people have higher faith in Joe with a new OC than I do, but you just don't know and they won't know going into a year where they likely will have to franchise him.

Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Yup. I repeatedly asked another forum this question last season, and this forum, this season.
It is the fundamental and overwhelming logic behind Cammie NOT being on the payroll come 2013.

With four DCs and a transitioning offense, I would think Harbs gets a pass...but certainty goes away if we isht the bed over our next 4+1 games.
